You've gotten this all wrong. Trust me, okay? You need to face the reality—"

But Portia turned a deaf ear towards her brother. She shook off his hands and interrupted him angrily, “Enough, Hayden! Since you blatantly refuse to help me, I'll just go to Dad. He got me the date with Carlos to the fashion show last time. I believe he can help me again.”

Hayden was having a headache because of her. He closed his eyes to cool himself down and opened them again.

“Portia, do you have any idea what

Dad had to do to get you that date with Carlos? He had to leave behind his honor and dignity to beg Carlos for it. I don't think that's gonna work again."

“What?!" Portia exclaimed in shock.

"You're lying! Hayden, I know what's on your mind. You want your beloved woman to Live a happy life.

You don't want Carlos to abandon her for me, do you?"

Hayden looked at his sister in disbelief. ‘Is this really my sweet sibling anymore? Is she possessed by the devil or something?’

Before he could say anything more, Portia grabbed her purse and stormed out of his office.

As soon as she walked out of the building, her phone beeped. She had received some WeChat messages.

In a group chat on WeChat, someone had sent a message saying the wife of some high-ranking official was holding a tea party and asked whether they had received the invitations.

Portia cast a casual glance at the pink invitation, which lay abandoned on the passenger seat of her car, and snorted. ‘It's just a tea party.

Why are they so excited about it?' she thought.

However, a girl's message caught her attention. It said, “I heard Mrs.

Hilton was also invited."

“Really? I didn't get a chance to see her at the expo. I heard she was really pretty. I'm going to the tea party to have a Look at her in person," another girl said.

“Debbie will go to the tea party?’ she wondered with a frown.

After a while, an evil smile appeared on her face. She had a plan.

Curtis drove Debbie to the manor and left soon after. She walked inside, and to her surprise, she saw Kasie, Kristina and Jared waiting for her. The moment they saw Debbie, the three of them rushed towards her and hugged her warmly. After all, they hadn't seen her in quite a while.

“Hey Jared, why are you here? I thought you were still angry with me because of the fight," Debbie teased while still holding onto Kasie's and Kristina's hands.

Jared pulled a long face.

"Since you've already apologized to me, I forgive you," he said.

The three girls looked at each other and burst out Laughing. Kasie rolled her eyes and snorted, “Jared, you are such a liar! It was you who apologized to Debbie."

Jared and Debbie had exchanged punches at the hotpot restaurant last time, and she had gone to England the very next day. On the third day, he had sent her a text message to apologize and told her that he missed her a lot.
